The term "Chroma Key" is otherwise know as "green screening" or "blue screening". The methodology of this video technique is that you are keying (removing) Chroma (colour) from your video and replacing it with a background of your choosing. Creating chroma key videos ten years ago was not only difficult but very expensive! You would need thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment, studio lighting, software and computer hardware to achieve what can be done ten times better today with an iPad.
Honestly, there is no easier way to create chroma key videos than with an iPad and the GreenScreen by Doink app. GS by Doink is so simple to use students of any age can get started with little or no experience.
